This week in China, the country will undergo a once-in-a-decade leadership change. This will have implications for years to come on both the property market and broader economy in China, throughout the rest of Asia, as well as the rest of the world.  The slowdown in the China residential sales market, triggered by the imposition of 2010 Home Purchase Restrictions, has now begun to feed into the larger negative trend in the national economy. China’s new incoming leadership faces a genuine puzzle, namely how to keep the lid on precipitous price appreciation while utilizing genuine demand for urban accommodation as a force to drive economic growth.  Because of the leadership change and the 2010 Home Purchase Restrictions, the Urban Land Institute – Asia Pacific will be hosting a webinar on November 14, 2012.

The presenter, Andrew Ness is the lead Research Consultant to ULI Asia Pacific. Formerly he was head of both China and Asia research at CBRE. He has been in Asia for over 20 years and speaks fluent Chinese.  Mr. Ness will highlight some of the findings of the recent ULI research paper that discusses the potential outlook for the China residential property market and the opportunities and challenges facing the incoming leadership.

Through webinars such as these, ULI aims to build a global network of ULI members.
